Project Overview

The T&T Cloud Solutions Engineer (CSE) has responsibility as a T&T corporate resource to develop, engineer, and implement cloud technology solutions that align with both client and corporate enterprise architecture needs. The T&T CSE’s solutions will align to and comply with standards, processes, procedures, and targets in context of Federal and Department of Defense client statutes/regulations , as well as T&T corporate policy. The T&T CSE will work in concert with the T&T Chief Architect and Senior Application Solutions Engineer. Collectively, this team will be charged with client requirements determination, architecture designs, and encompassing cloud solutions for a customer base that includes DoD, HHS, NIH, VA, DoC, NOAA, NIST, DoJ, Treasury, etc.

The T&T CSE will support multiple project efforts and corporate initiatives to define/implement/refine cloud “as a Service” (aaS) specifications and solutions to meet enterprise needs for scalability, security, and diverse aaS implementations (e.g., IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, etc.). In coordination with client and T&T corporate stakeholders, the T&T CSE will develop and recommend enterprise performance criteria involving cloud parameters and constructs. Upon approval of such criteria, the T&T CSE will meet/exceed enterprise performance criteria by establishing and implementing leading edge cloud solutions and/or minimum value products that can scale to enterprise level solutions.

The T&T ESE is responsible for analyzing, adopting, adapting, and applying current trends in technology solutions from Cloud Service Providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.). The CSE will recommend and ultimately implement optimal solutions that readily integrate into a variety of architectural environments/designs and multiple levels of security for both Federal and DoD clientele. The T&T CSE will establish and build the technological groundwork as basis for their adoption, adaptation, and integration of practical CSP-based solutions to meet/exceed performance criteria. The T&T CSE candidate must have hands-on experience in proactively and holistically guiding clients through transformation and optimization efforts with one or more CSPs. The T&T CSE will articulate solutions, from planning stages to execution, to a wide audience ranging from non-technical to highly technical in oral and digital venues.

This position will be located in Falls Church, VA. Remote work, both full and part time, is negotiable. Qualified candidate must have or can attain a Secret clearance.
